Method, Methodology, and Dangling Conversations.
MacKinnon, David
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, v42 n3 p208-17 Sep 1996
In Canada's Exemplary Schools Project, a national committee designed and coordinated 21 case studies. A committee member recounts decisions made about design and method, and highlights differences between method and methodology, as well as variations in conceptualization of qualitative research. Discusses the meaning of "exemplary," school selection, coordination issues, research team selection, and the nature of story "accuracy." (Author/SV)
